We know of only a few others that have had any kind of problem with theft and most of them it was from their vehicles or homes, not from beginning mugged. In general, I think most motorhomers and travelers have had nothing but good experiences. We also hope that this will never happen again.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-29245155986996371022012-11-10T15:48:18.941-05:002012-11-10T15:48:18.941-05:00Gracias Paco y Oty por el cálido abrazo y por pens...Gracias Paco y Oty por el cálido abrazo y por pensar en nosotros Estamos deseando ver de nuevo este invierno, así como Chago y su familia.<br /><br />Thank you Paco and Oty for the warm hug and for thinking of us We are looking forward to seeing you again this winter, as well as Chago and his family.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-75633227303861700092012-11-10T15:44:02.571-05:002012-11-10T15:44:02.571-05:00@ I'd rather be Sailing, I think you are right...@ I'd rather be Sailing, I think you are right. Kevin would have been able to out run them but he knew that I wouldn't have been and because of that he didn't run. I still think that we did do things the right way and handed over the bag like they wanted. They were probably amatuers but they were also doing this in daylight hours and very close to houses so they wouldn't have had much time before someone would have walked up on the incident.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-1246086800058422132012-11-10T15:29:26.209-05:002012-11-10T15:29:26.209-05:00Glad that your Grandma got her money back and wasn...Glad that your Grandma got her money back and wasn't hurt either.

When they have big knives, it is better to just hand your stuff over. Yep, if sucks about the glasses, I didn't even have them for 2 weeks. The backpack was not one of our nice travel backpacks, just a real cheap daypack one, so no great loss there either.

We feel we did everything right but we are always replaying it over in our minds and wondering if we should have done anything different.
